    And to think people say the PC only has two genres, FPS and RTS.

    What madness......


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I can see quite a few of them being delayed tbh (Prince of Persia and Mirror's Edge for sure), but i'm most looking forward to...

    Far Cry 2
    Fallout 3
    Red Alert 3
    Spore
    Prince of Persia (Assuming its not delayed)

    I actually had a dream I was playing Left4Dead a while ago. I was being chased by a bearded zombie. Hopefully the real life port will be as good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    aww crap, when I seen Project Origin I got it confused with Project Offset :(

    It would be sweet if we got to see Project Offset by the end of the year, but I highly doubt it


  • Legal Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 5,400 Mod ✭✭✭✭Maximilian


    Out of the OP's list, I'm particularly looking forward to Stalker, Spore, Fallout (May not be as good as hoped) and Left 4 Dead.

    As for what's not on his list - I think that new Colonization game is due out in September I think, which will be an immediate buy.

    Also, Warhammer online might just be the next good mmorpg


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,634 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    I'm pretty sure spore won't be delayed I think it's gona gold a while now

  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,079 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion

  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth

    September 7, 2008 Spore
    September 16, 2008 Crysis Warhead

    October 7, 2008 Fallout 3
    November 11, 2008 Call of Duty: World at War
    November 18, 2008 Grand Theft Auto IV


    Im starting to notice the pattern of annual release dates; sell crap for over half the year then release the good stuff in the 4th quarter. They never seem to release any big titles over the summer

    Boo-urns!

    That's probably a good thing. It's my birthday on the 30th. I've got the 30th and 31st off. I probably would have spent it playing stalker instead of going out for it. :D

    As long as it comes soon, i dont care, if they need the time, take it!!!

    I did not knew there is so many fans of it, specially when western game websites did not that good reviews. You know it is made by russians?

    I knew about this game 3 years before it was released! And when it got released mine pc was good only for loading screen :( . Now i got some decent rig, so thats the job :D.

    i think 2 moust waited games for me: fallout 3 and stalker: clear sky. I just love nuclear waste land theme!

    I don't mean to be a smart arse, but they are Ukrainian actually.


    Really good line up! I was despairing about the current crop of PC games for much of this year, constituting as it did console knock offs, multi-format crap and not much else. But jesus patience is rewarded! I can see STALKER, GTA IV, Spore, Left 4 Dead, Prince of Persia, Crysis Warhead and Far Cry 2 putting a serious dent in the social life as well as the wallet.....

    Just in case anyone is wondering, the basis for the game - the utterly brilliant book 'Roadside Picnic' and the film 'Stalker' (adapted from the book) - was written by the Russian brothers Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and later adapted into the film 'Stalker' directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, again a Russian. I would heartily recommend reading the book before John Travolta and and co unleash what can only be anticipated as a cinematic travesty upon us.

    sweet line-up.

    just finished stalker so looking forward to clear sky

    i really want to play like 12 of those listed.
    dont think ive ever looked forward to so many games in such a short amount of time.

    i think end of this month will be the perfect time for a nice new gfx card :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,742 ✭✭✭Branoic


    really looking forward to Spore, Stalker, Red Alert 3, and Crysis Warheard.

    Also really looking forward to Mirror's Edge, but that will most likely be a console buy for me. Just seems like a better fit on a console.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    Spore is the only one I'm even mildly interested in :(

    Looking forward to Spore and Prince of Persia.

    Would be looking forward to others except I never played Far Cry 2 / Crysis.
    Good upcoming games though!

    🤪



  • Moderators Posts: 5,558 ✭✭✭Azza


    Branoic why would you think Mirrors Edge is more suited to a console than a PC?. Its a game in the first person perspective and they tend to be better suited to the PC. Also PC version will probably be cheaper too.


  • Legal Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 5,400 Mod ✭✭✭✭Maximilian


    Dammit.

    Stalker is delayed to Q1 next year.

    Dammit.
